If you submit to PeerJ with a University of Kansas email (ending @ku.edu) and are the Corresponding or Administrating author of the article, we will automatically recognize you as eligible to publish using KU’s Annual Institutional Membership.

If you are a member of the KU faculty but have an alternative email, please email authors@peerj.com when you have completed your submission and submit a request to use KU's Annual Institutional Membership.

KU was the first public institution to adopt an open access policy in the US, after examples set by Harvard, MIT, and Stanford’s School of Education. In 2011, KU Libraries co-founded the Coalition of Open Access Policy Institutions (COAPI). As the Provost’ Designate under the policy, the Shulenburger Office of Scholarly Communication & Copyright supports faculty in a variety of ways to make their scholarly work as visible as possible.
